Overview

Ossining, one of Westchester County's oldest communities, holds a legacy as deep and layered as the Hudson River it borders

The first incorporated village in Westchester County, Ossining is defined by a history of remarkable firsts: the county's first newspaper, first volunteer fire department, first childcare facility, and first official American casualty of World War I, Edmond C. Genet. One of its most enduring symbols is the infamous Sing Sing Prison, established in 1825. Though its presence has left an indelible mark on the village's identity, it remains just one chapter in Ossining's rich and textured story.

Packed with rare details and "Portal to the Past" entries, local authors Caroline Curvan and Scott Craven reveal the rich history of this unique community.
